I am hoping SKS can help me with this family. The 1870 census, Page 3, 1st Civil District, Morristown, Grainger County, Tennessee is very difficult to read, but appears as follows: M. A. Whitt, 26, Cabinet Maker, born Virginia Elmyra J.(?), 27, Keeping House, born Virginia David S., 7(?) born Virginia Ross B.(?) 5 born Virginia Edward E., 2, born Tennessee The 1880 Census Mortality Schedule, 3rd Civil District, Hamblen County, Tennessee, shows M. A. Whitt as dying at age 39. The 1880 Census, 3rd Civil District, Hamblen County, Tennessee shows: Mira (Elmyra?) Whitt, 31(37?), Keeps House, born Virginia David (S.?), 14, born Virginia Eddie (Edward E.?), 11, born Tennessee Charley, 9, born Tennessee James, 6, born Tennessee Lizzie, 5, born Tennessee Nelson Taylor, 12, Mulatto Servant, born Tennessee She is living next door to Hugh Witt and family. David Sears Whitt is my grandfather. His death certificate shows his parents as James L. and Elmyra Whitt. Elmyra had 3 children born after M. A. Whitt's death. Might she have been married to James L. Whitt after M. A. Whitt's death? Where are they buried? Thank you in advance for any information on this family.
